Hearing Instrument Accessory Instructions

When you purchase your hearing instrument(s) at Sound Hearing Clinic you may receive a package of accessories along with the instrument(s). This package will likely include the following;

1 Dri-Aid Kit (Drying Kit)

The Drying Kit is a Hearing Aid Dehumidifier. It is a way to remove moisture from the circuity of your hearing aid(s). You should place your hearing aid(s) into the plastic jar at least once every two weeks overnight. Clean your hearing aid(s) prior to placing them in the jar and remove the batteries from the hearing aids. You may use it every night if you wish. When the dessicant pellets in the bottom of the jar are no longer orange the dessicant will need to be replaced. Replacement of the dessicant is $8.00 for 2 containers.

2. Clean Aid

Clean Aid spray is a cleaner and deodorizer for hearing aids and earmolds. Spray a small amount of the solution onto a Kleenex tissue or clean cloth and wipe hearing aid(s) / molds. This will kill any bacteria that is found on the aid or earmolds.

3. Batteries

Your hearing aids come with a supply of batteries. Battery life will vary depending on size of batter and use of the hearing aids. Battery life will range from one to two weeks.

Batteries should be kept in a dry spot at room temperature. They should not be kept in the refrigerator.

When inserting a new batter into your hearing aids, remove the paper and let the battery sit at room temperature for at least 1 minute before first use in the hearing aids.

If necessary,

4. Miracell

Miracell is a soothing botanical based anti-bacterial / lubricant liquid used to relieve itchy ears. You may apply Miracell directly from the bottle into your ear canal (1 - 4 drops only) or apply directly to the shell of your hearing aid. Do not use cotton or tissue in the ear canal as this will absorb the liquid and defeat the purpose of Miracell.
